Fox rabies was eradicated in France by 2001 through a collaborative One Health approach between human and veterinary medicine. This successful disease control program involved monitoring animal cases and post-exposure treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Fox rabies was introduced to France in 1968, spreading inland at approximately 40 km per year.
  • This led to the implementation of a comprehensive disease control and eradication program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the key factors contributing to the successful eradication of rabies in terrestrial animals in France.
  • To analyze data on animal and human rabies cases, post-exposure treatments, and surveillance efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Collaborative efforts between human and veterinary medicine.
  • Monitoring of rabies cases in terrestrial animals and humans.
  • Surveillance of post-exposure treatments (PET), baiting, and oral vaccination programs for wildlife.

Main Results:

  • Rabies in terrestrial animals was eradicated from France by 2001.
  • No indigenous human rabies cases were reported during the program.
  • Effective monitoring of post-exposure treatments (PET) was maintained.

Conclusions:

  • The successful eradication of fox rabies in France highlights the effectiveness of a One Health strategy.
  • Integrated surveillance and control measures, including oral vaccination, were crucial for disease elimination.
  • Continued vigilance and monitoring are essential for preventing re-emergence.
